We will also consider your application if your subject is not listed above, if you have at least one of the following: - evidence of significant academic or paid professional experience (at least 12 months) in fields including, but not limited to: Law, Policy, Healthcare, Health administration/government, Health advocacy (including reproductive rights, disability rights) or Legal/Policy research. If this is the case, please include your CV (curriculum vitae / résumé) when you apply, showing details of your relevant qualifications. If you are currently completing a degree, we understand that your final grade may be higher than the interim grades or module/unit grades you have achieved during your studies to date. We will consider your application if your interim grades are currently slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements and may make you an aspirational offer. This offer would be at the standard level, so you would need to achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of your degree. We will also consider your application if your final overall achieved grade is slightly lower than the programme's entry requirement.
